PS: Have you watched a little Cold War thriller entitled "The Iron Curtain" by William Wellman?

Absolutely a fantastic year for Noir - I had to restrain myself from putting them all in. I would have included ROAD HOUSE had I recalled it. I'm not familiar with IRON CURTAIN, but I hope to be soon! Thanks, Member.

(Powell and Pressburger absolutely rule English-language cinema of the 1940s, as is apparent from my lists!)

Actually not a huge fan of this movie. I prefer other Archer ones by a long shot and many of these feature my lists !

THE RED SHOES, for me, is "only" a nice movie, with an outstanding morceau-de-bravoure and a great score. And, of course, Moira Shearer is absolutely gorgeous. But I don't find the plot original at all when compared to all those other incredible and crazy stories penned by this magic duo !

First, let me look up the translation for morceau-de-bravoure, lol. Oh yes, quite! I think I would still rank this in "The Archers" top 3 for the lush cinematography and production design alone.
